4 large egg yolks
1 cup of water
2 whites
18 eggs
4 large egg yolks
1 cup of water
2 whites
18 eggs
Bring the egg yolks with water to a boil and let simmer without stirring until it reaches the thread stage
While that's cooking, strain the whites and eggs through fine-mesh sieve and mix only to combine
When the custard reaches the thread stage, remove from heat and immediately add 2 tablespoons of the yolk mixture; when coagulated, return to heat and whisk with a spatula
Remove and drain off excess liquid
Repeat this process, adding a little cold water as needed to prevent the custard from thickening too much
Trim edges with a knife
Place these edges in the middle of the plate
Roll and serve with warm custard sauce
Serve about 20 egg custards.
